Abstract (EN): The CALOHEE Projects postulate that Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have a responsibility towards society and should explicitly and purposefully aim at preparing the next generation to be active and responsible citizens. While few HEIs will openly disagree with this statement, preparing for Civic, Social and Cultural engagement is too often expected to somehow happen ‘on itself’. The existing higher education curricula rarely cater for this explicitly. Yet, for the desired transformation to take place, explicit Civic, Social and Cultural engagement-related learning outcomes need to be formulated at programme and course levels. Such learning outcomes need to be assessed, and adequate learning and teaching activities are required to help students achieve the desired learning outcomes. The CALOHEE Civic, Social, and Cultural Engagement reference framework proposes concrete educational goals: - responsibilities graduates should be prepared to assume, as well as - knowledge and skills students need to be equipped with, in order to assume such responsibilities.
